Comments and insights on the name Jillian

- This has been on my "Favorites List" since 1982. It was a very unique name in 1982. I like the middle name Renee with it - Jillian Renee. So adorable!

- My name is Giuliana, but i love too much the name Jillian. Unfortunately here in Italy this name is not used...

Personal experiences with the name Jillian

My name is Jillian and I have always loved my name! I love it because not only do I have a bubbly name like Jillian, but I also have a more mature name like Jill (I always introduce myself as Jillian). It is also extremely unique and I have only ever known two other Jillians whereas my siblings can not say the same with common names like Matthew and Katelyn.

My name is Jillian. When I was a child I was called Jill, or Jillybean. Both were great, I always liked my name. I remember when I was 16, I wrote Jillian on my first job application because I thought it sounded more sophisticated, and I never went back to Jill. I love it. My middle name is Tyler. Also like that. Would be a good pen name. I reccomend spelling it with a J, Gillian..is a little confusing.

My 9 year old daughter's name is Jillian Rose. She is a beautiful, spunky, and intelligent little girl. We call her Jill, Jilly, Lia (occasionally), and when she was younger, Jillybean.

The only Jillian I've known was tacky and promiscuous. I like the name itself though.

My original birth name is Jiliyana which is the 'Indian version'. It's pronounced the same as Jillian (in English anyway) and I have recently changed my legal name to the spelling Jillian. I love my name and I loved the nod to my Indian heritage but I was completely tired of getting called Jilly-yawnuh rather than Jillian. I mostly go by Jill or Lian, but at school and things the spelling became a hassle.
